Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes
as well as the best accessories and cookware. We
have tailored these recommendations to your appli-
ance.
16.1 What is the best way to proceed?
In this section, you will find out the best way to proceed
using step-by-step instructions to make optimal use of
the recommended settings. You will get information on
many meals, with details and tips on how to best use
and set your appliance.
Note:
¡ The recommended settings always apply to the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
¡ The times specified in the overviews are intended as
a guide only. They will depend on the quality and
composition of the food.
WARNING‒Risk of burns!
Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during
heating, or even afterwards.
▶ Never cook eggs in their shell or heat hard-boiled
eggs in their shell.
▶ Never cook shellfish or crustaceans.
▶ Always prick the yolk of eggs before microwaving.
▶ The skin of foods that have a peel or skin, such as
apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may
burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.
Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become
hot.
▶ Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or ac-
cessories from the cooking compartment.

4.
Always place the cookware on the turntable.
5.
Use the recommended settings when configuring
the appliance settings.
Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, in-
crease the cooking time. If two microwave power
settings and times are specified in the tables, set
the first microwave power setting and cooking time
first and, after the signal, set the second.
If you want to cook quantities that deviate from
those specified in the tables, set approximately
double the time for double the amount.
6.
Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot
cookware out of the cooking compartment.
16.2 Tips for defrosting and heating
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting and
heating.
Issue Tip
The food should be de-
frosted, hot or cooked
once the time has
elapsed.
Set a longer cooking
time. Larger quantities
and food which is piled
high require longer times.
Once the time has
elapsed, the food should
not be overheated at the
edge and cooked in the
middle.
¡ Stir the food occasion-
ally.
¡ Set a lower microwave
power setting and a
longer cooking time.
After defrosting, poultry or
meat should not be de-
frosted on the outside
only but still frozen in the
middle.
¡ Set a lower microwave
power setting.
¡ If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it
several times.
The food should not be
too dry.
¡ Set a lower microwave
power setting.
¡ Set a shorter cooking
time.
¡ Cover the food.
¡ Add more liquid.
16.3 Defrosting
With your appliance you can defrost frozen food.
Defrosting food
1.
Place the frozen food in an open container on the
turntable.
Delicate parts, such as the legs and wings of
chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts, can be
covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil
must not touch the sides of the cooking compart-
ment.
2.
Start the operation.
You can remove the foil halfway through the defrost-
ing time.
3.
Note:Liquid is produced when you defrost meat
and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no cir-
cumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
4.
Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it
defrosts.
Turn large pieces of food several times.
5.
To even out the temperature, leave the defrosted
food to stand at room temperature for approx. 10–
20 minutes.
You can remove the giblets from poultry at this
point. You can continue to cook the meat even if a
small section of it is still frozen in the centre.
